What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Saxophone mouthpiece praised for excellent value and sound quality. Customers said it offers "superb sound, rich and very fine" with good harmonics. Ideal for beginners and progression. Some noted the ligature doesn't hold reeds securely enough and one found it slightly closed. Overall highly recommended for jazz playing.

An alternative to the standard spout. Super pleasant, close to the sc80, it allows jazzmen more fantasies but seems more “cheap” than the SELMER models of the usual ranges. Good because it is also much cheaper and personally I think it is suitable as a replacement for a mouthpiece adopted seems more open to jazz.

3 stars for the ligature, which does not hold the reed well enough, when the beak is handled on the jar.

Satisfied and at the same time a bit disappointed with the result. Mounted on a 1967 Saxo Conn, Jazz Vandoren 1.5 reeds (choice linked to a slight breath disability).
